The George<br \/>Eastman House is bringing independent animator Don Hertzfeldt to<br \/>town for a night of films and commentary.<\/p>\n<p>SEPTEMBER 24 SAT. 8 p.m.<br \/>Don Hertzfeldt in person! A Bitter Films Retrospective<br \/>(program running time approx. 105 min.)<\/p>\n<p>Over the last ten years, a loyal cult following has developed over the<br \/>uproariously funny short films of independent American animator<br \/>Don Hertzfeldt. Using deceptively simple stick figure protagonists<br \/>and brilliant comic timing, Hertzfeldt\u2019s hand-drawn cartoons can<br \/>keep an audience in stitches while simultaneously investigating<br \/>surrealist and existentialist philosophies. An artist in the great<br \/>tradition of Chuck Jones and Tex Avery, Hertzfeldt will be with us<br \/>in person as we present this complete retrospective of work<br \/>produced at his Bitter Films Studio, including AH, L\u2019AMOUR<br \/>(1995), GENRE (1996), LILY AND JIM (1997), BILLY\u2019S<br \/>BALLOON (1998), the Oscar-nominated REJECTED (2000),<br \/>THE MEANING OF LIFE (2005) and more.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets: $8, $6 members and students.<br \/>Advance tickets will be made available in September.<br \/>No Take-10 tickets or passes.<\/p>\n<p>George Eastman House<br \/>900 East Avenue, Rochester, NY 14607<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.eastmanhouse.org\/\">www.eastmanhouse.org<\/a><br \/>(585) 271-3361<\/p>\n<p>For more about Don and his films, visit his excellent website at<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/bitterfilms.com\/\">http:\/\/bitterfilms.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>=============================================<\/p>\n<p>SUBWAY DVD PULLING INTO THE STATION<\/p>\n<p>We are in the last stages of authoring on our special edition DVD<br \/>of THE END OF THE LINE &#8211; ROCHESTER&#8217;S SUBWAY.<br \/>We are making the last tweaks and planning to send materials<br \/>off to press next week.
